A beach bar next to glamorous jewelry stores and boutiques is only possible in 

Sint Maarten, where the island's capital of Philipsburg is blessed with one of the nicest beaches in the Caribbean. 

For the many visitors arriving by cruise ship, this is ideal: if some in a group or family prefer to browse through the town's amazing shopping district, they can leave the less enthusiastic members at the beach – preferably at Pirates in Paradise! 

For the ladies this could mean that there is no rush in sampling the store's offerings, because they know that their partner is enjoying his bucket of ice-cold beer on the beach. And to top the convenience: all this in walking distance to the water taxi dock!
